What is the Medium Review?

The 2025 Medium Review offers photographers the opportunity to meet gallery owners, photo editors, museum curators, non-profit directors, and publishers who attend Medium to discover new talent in photography and make lasting professional connections. Participating photographers receive eight twenty-minute meetings on April 2025, hosted virtually to maximize accessibility. Attending the review allows photographers the ability to share their work through dialog, studio visits and video content, with promotion of their work through Medium Photo.

The Medium Review prides itself on being a small, welcoming, and supportive environment for photographers, promoting connections with peer photographers and professional contacts.
